The Ashbrook Center is pleased to announce that Jesse Watters, host of Jesse Watters Primetime, co-host of Fox News’ The Five, and author of the #1 New York Times best-selling book How I Saved The World, will be the keynote speaker for the 37th John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner on Saturday, April 12th.

Jesse Watters joined Fox News in 2002 as a production assistant. In 2003, he made his on-camera debut as a correspondent for The O’Reilly Factor. While working with the program, he showcased his popular man-on-the-street interviews, traveling to different locations while quizzing individuals about politics, pop culture, and current events. On Jesse Watters Primetime, he takes on compelling guests and top newsmakers with his original style and fun personality. In March 2017, he aired an exclusive interview with President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One. On The Five, Jesse is part of a roundtable ensemble of Fox News personalities who discuss, debate, and even debunk the hot news stories, controversies, and issues of the day. He graduated from Trinity College with a Bachelor of Arts in history.

The Ashbrook Memorial Dinner is a scholarship fundraising event in support of the Ashbrook Scholar Program for undergraduate students—a program that cultivates the knowledge, character, and judgment necessary for good leadership in a constitutional republic.
